Emma and Josh wedding day at The Tree Church Turiturimuri

A real number and a cup of tea
— Emma & Josh

It’s been one helluva wedding season so far and March has been yuuuuuge. But I get to capture some beautiful weddings and meet so many amazing people.
You could see why Emma chose Josh, one of the nicest and most genuine humans you could ever meet. Emma may of not accepted the 3am offer of a cup of tea but she did give Josho her real number. Introducing Mr & Mrs Theurillat.

Lauren and Luke's winter wedding at Rose & Smith at Tauherenikau was stunning. The rich winter tones set up at the venue and heartfelt ceremony filled with love and laughter created the perfect winter wedding in the heart of the Wairarapa. The candlelit ceremony and reception areas and lush settings set the scene for an unforgettable night of dancing. It was a beautiful celebration check out the small snippet of their day below.

Losi & Aidan wedding at Tarureka Estate

A little bit of rain, plenty of culture and such a good time.
— Losi & Aidan


Bit of a whirlwind end to December like always. With a couple of early morning flights via QT > Chch > Wgtn then a little tiki tour over the Remutaka Hill to get to Losi & Aidan’s wedding @tarurekaestate
The team tried as hard as they could to have the wedding outside but as we have been through all of 2022, the rain came pouring down. Even with the rain it was a super hot and humid day but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. With a quick transition of the loft from reception set up to ceremony set and back again by Beth, the team @crescendocuisine and @bloomwoodflowerdesign
Shoutout to Alex for jumping on the tools too, here’s a few snaps from their stunning day

15 degrees and blue sky was on the cards for Rosie & Jackson’s wedding day

Starting to wind up my wedding season and what a better way than shooting with a bunch of my faves out at the always beautiful grounds of Rose & Smith. Was the last of our Stills and Motion collab weddings for winter with Sink or Surface, we had Suzette May whipping up some amazing floral installations and Paper Darling supplying beautiful signage pieces. Plenty of laughs, tears and some out the gate speeches that came out when William went off script with the MC duties and open the floor for people to speak.

Check out some of the jaw dropping moments from Rosie & Jackson’s wedding day.
